DRINKING WATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITE PAPERS

• Six Top Factors To Consider When Selecting A Flow Meter

  Water utilities rely on accurate and dependable flow measurement for critical process controls. Regulatory agencies also require flow monitoring and reporting, with specific accuracy limits.

• Why Should I Install A Water Storage Tank Mixer?

  Throughout my experience, I’ve tried countless ways to ensure my drinking water was of high quality. By far, the best, most efficient, and effective way I’ve found is by using an active water storage tank mixer.

• Ozone Technology In Aquaculture: Enhancing Water Quality And Health

  Water quality is the backbone of a successful aquaculture operation. Poor water conditions lead to disease outbreaks, low survival rates, and reduced productivity. Traditional chemical treatments can leave harmful residues and negatively impact both aquatic life and the environment.

• Three-Dimensional ROI: Getting More Than Just Dollars From Your Smart Water Network

  When it comes to digital transformation via ‘smart city’ technologies for leak detection or sewer overflow prevention, utility needs inevitably overlap with the economic and infrastructure interests of other city operations. Evaluating operating efficiencies in the context of three-dimensional (3D) ROI can uncover practical ways to drive greater dividends for all concerned — utilities, society, and the environment around them.

• Purifying Water From The Ground Up

  For some water providers, carefree days of producing pure, fresh water from groundwater sources are long gone. Years of evolving chemical complexity, industrial operations, and short-sighted disposal methods have taken a toll on groundwater sources. Fortunately, new technologies are helping water providers make the best of a challenging situation across a wide range of contaminants.

• EPA Researchers Develop Forecasting Approach To Predict Harmful Cyanobacterial Blooms For U.S. Lakes

  Due to climate and land use pressures, there is concern that harmful cyanobacterial blooms (HCBs) may increase in frequency, extent, and magnitude, but it can be difficult to know when and where HCBs may form. EPA’s Safe and Sustainable Water Resources research uses a range of data sources and methods to characterize HCBs in waterbodies.

• Innovative Technologies For Nitrate Treatment

  Conventional nitrate treatment equipment tends to generate a waste-handling issue that can be a challenge to many utilities. The emergence of innovative technologies in drinking water treatment has led to more sustainable approaches for the reduction of nitrate.

• The Effects Of Water Quality On Arsenic Removal

  When considering an arsenic treatment option for a water system application, it’s important to obtain and review the proposed design criteria carefully. A good system design will have evaluated critical water quality parameters.

• Managing Water Loss In Four Easy Steps

  A practical approach to detecting leaks and reducing non-revenue water.

  Water utilities are charged with an incredibly important task – providing safe and affordable water to communities in the face of aging infrastructure, funding gaps, and changing regulatory requirements. Specifically, when considering water loss control, leakage, and operational inefficiencies, costs may appear to be unaffordable.

• “Eureka!” Nevada Community Rushes To Meet U.S. EPA Arsenic Level Standard

  With the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) now requiring arsenic levels of 10 ppb for drinking water, reducing high levels of arsenic in one of its community’s water supply had been a challenge for Eureka County. Find out how a community, who once searched for silver, hunted down a way to remove high levels of arsenic from its drinking water.
